Open science and research monitoring results for 2024 show that two-thirds of the universities, nearly half of the universities of applied sciences, and two research institutes reached the highest level of openness.
Monitoring for 2024 is more comprehensive than the first monitoring carried out in 2022. The results of individual questions are comparable across years, but comparisons of degrees and levels of openness must take into account changes in approach.
Responsible evaluation practices have advanced markedly from 2022. This development highlights the dedication of Finnish research organisations to align with international standards for responsible research evaluation. Open education and the use of open educational resources continue to evolve.
Monitoring results in research.fi -portal
The monitoring results for 2024 were published on 30 October on the research.fi -portal where the users can examine the data from their chosen perspectives. The results can be viewed, for example, at the level of different organisations, sectors, or on a comprehensive, national level on the portal's visual analytics platform. Organisation-specific results can be found by clicking the Organizations icon on the front page of Research.fi.
The entire research data will be made openly available by the end of the year 2024 on the Research.fi website. The dataset will include both the indicators used and their scoring.
Response rates again very high
The 2024 monitoring included comprehensive data collection through an online survey sent to research organisations, supplemented by data from the Finnish Research Information Hub.
All Finnish universities, as well as universities of applied sciences and the research institutes included in the Finnish Research Information Hub, were invited to take part in the monitoring of open science and research in 2024. The response rates were impressive:
- Universities 93%
- Universities of applied sciences 100%
- Research institutes 92%.
